Factory 3/4 ton wheel replacement.

TCK1 · Feb 26, 2023

Hello all,

I’m looking for replacement wheels that will replicate the factory wheels so I can still use the dog dish hubcaps. My originals were 16.5 inch rims and I’m wanting to go to a 16 inch rim just for the ease of tire selection.

Thank you in advance.

@Grit dog has some wheels on his rig you might like

You can get OE looking 16s in different widths from a few different mfgs.
Wheel Vintiques and US Wheel come to mind.

Stockton Wheel has them, and if you get 16", and want them restored, they can do that too and they powder coat them factory colors

My ‘75 GMC had factory 16.5” split rims and swapped them out for stock 16” 8 bolt wheels I pulled from the junkyard. I pulled them all off GM trucks, but in that timeframe I think the Ford wheels will also fit. They charged me $25 each for the tire and wheel, but the tires were old and mismatched.

I had the tire shop install new valve stems and mounted new 245/75r16 load range E tires, since they are a similar height and load rating to the old 16.5” tires.

I know I'm going to catch hell for this, but will these fit on my 84 C2500? I know they are Ford rims but I like the slotted look. I need to restore my factory 16" steel wheels and was wanting to go with these as a temporary setup. Maybe add some white letter tires if they are available.

Maybe paint them white with a center cap of some kind

I like those too but no.. they will not fit, those are SD pattern. That's what I have on the front of yellow. Her front axle is from an 04 SD.

The owner, Frank Mauro Jr, committed suicide in 2011. The business closed but was reopened by new owners sometime later. From what I've read, there's no custom work being done anymore and they don't respond to emails or phone calls. Might as well forget about Stockton Wheel.

I hear good things about Wheelsmith >> https://thewheelsmith.net/
